a lot of times it's happening behind closed doors in deals like the fiscal cliff deal or debt ceiling deal. the very fact the process is happening and advocates know that their members are working together on this makes it much more likely for them to get involved. as those senators involved in this have mentioned. they are not planning to get a bill to the floor until march. so i think you're only going to see those efforts stepping up in the next few weeks. >> i want to bring in congressman castro, it's good to have you on the show. they would have had loved to have a tap on the phone, three republicans that he talked to yesterday talking about immigration. what do you take away from that? >> i think that the president is serious about working in a bipartisan way to get comprehensive immigration reform done. he does want to be a leader on this but also that he respects the role of the congress and specifically of those republicans who have gone out on a limb a bit to make comprehensive immigration reform a reality. >> we've been talking about the c contentious town hall, only guns w

how do we avoid going over the fiscal cliff with the debt ceiling last summer. and they were log jammed. and they said we need something to really make this happen. and at a meeting at the white house somebody said years ago they had a thing called the sequester, where these horrible horrible, horrible cuts were put in there that would happen if congress didn't act. and everybody said okay. let's do that again. then it came up to the congress and the republicans in congress 174 of them voted for this. john boehner paul ryan eric cantor all voted for it. and when it was over john boehner said i love this. i got 98% of what i want. these cuts which are so bad that everybody thought never, never, never would congress go along with it. you know why the republicans want to go along with it? because they don't give a damn. they don't care if the government is whacked across the board. first responders and air traffic controllers and pell grants and all of that other stuff cut. they don't care. so my question to you is, do you think this see quester is going to happen?

so well, chris and we've had these conversations, as you mentioned, the fiscal cliff and debt ceiling debate and last minute flurry of activity and senators making triumphant returns for the holidays to be there in washington to get it done. do you see a difference this time there in d.c.? >> yeah, i think there's quite a sizable difference and that's because of the fact that with the debt ceiling, if you reach that point, we would have gone into either a technical or a practical default, jeopardizing the faith and credit of the american financial system. with a fiscal cliff, everybody's taxes would have gone up. the dramatic thing about the sequester is how undramatic it is. on march 2nd, nobody's going to notice a difference. the government doesn't shut down, none of the cuts are going into effect and it's really less a cliff and more a kind of a gentle slope because of the fact it takes a while for the cuts to kick in. in fact, the furloughs and layoffs that people are talking about, they have to give 60 days notice and that won't happen until the end of april, again, all the more
